eA Foreword 


HE American Art Association, Inc., takes a genuine pleasure in pre- 
senting this collection of Mr. Murphy’s work to the public, antici- 
pating that it will be gladly and generously received. ‘This is the 
first and the last—the only collection of Mr. Murphy’s paintings. ‘There are 
no more to come upon the market. ‘The same is true as to the drawings, none 
of which Mr. Murphy would offer for sale while he lived, much to the 
irritation of his friends. Mrs. Murphy in assembling and assorting them has 
sought to make the exhibition a suitable memorial to her husband, one of the 
fine American painters of his generation and one of the best beloved as a man. 
‘The majority of the paintings are recent work, and work of the days of 
the artist’s best maturity. The collection, howeve1, spans fifty years of artistic 
labor, from 1873, and the different phases of his interest clearly appear. From 
an admirer of rich greens in the landscape he became a devotee of the quieter 
yet richer tones of the declining season of the year—an Apostle of the Autumn. 
And he found the autumn of infinite variety. His range was all of outdoors. 
In titles of his pictures may be read a book of nature: “October Woods,” 
“November Indian Summer,” ‘““The Sprout Lot,” “Lowlands,” “The Hill,” 
“The Farm,” “Gray Weather,” “Frosty Morning,” “Woods Clearing,” 
“The Pumpkin Field,” “The Willows,” “Outskirts of a Village,” “The 
Barn,” “Summer,” “Fall Mist,” to mention only a few of them. And what 
finer representation of nature can be wanted than that in “The Vista,” a paint- 
ing of 1914? Among the paintings of the early days are notes of neighboring 
Jersey, and there is a Chicago River record, as well as pictures of France.

An eA ppreciation of Mr. Murphy 
and Fis Work 


T is a privilege and a pleasure to write a word for the catalogue of the 
drawings and paintings of the late J. Francis Murphy, which from time 
to time the artist presented to his wife. It comprises the only considerable 

number of Mr. Murphy’s works in the hands of any one person. 

The public has never before had an opportunity to purchase any of Mr. 
Murphy’s drawings and pencil sketches. During a friendship which lasted for 
many years I learned much of the early life of J. Francis Murphy. Success in 
art was not passed to him on a golden platter. He climbed the ladder step by step 
and each step meant hard persistent work. He not only won for himself recogni- 
tion—that elusive thing which thousands of artists fight for and never obtain—but 
he reached the first rank of American landscape painters. 

When Mr. Murphy was a young art student and the fumes of the Chicago 
fire were still in his nostrils, American art was an infant struggling to keep itself 
alive. It existed in name only. Few wanted it or believed in it. Portrait painting 
had made some progress during and after the Revolution, but landscapes were primi- 
tive. A group of artists known as the “Hudson River School” were painting 
landscapes which today are thought to be old-fashioned but were considered good 
at the time they were painted. Mr. Murphy broke away from this style of painting. 
His inborn love of the beautiful in nature led him as early as 1878 to paint pictures 
far in advance of the times and suggestive of that fine quality which he developed 
in later years. Under the leadership of Inness, Wyant, Homer Martin, Winslow 
Homer, Alden Weir, John Sargent and J. Francis Murphy, American art pushed 
its way to the front and took a position from which it has never retraced a step. 
These great artists have all passed away but their immortal works live. 

Mr. Murphy was a modest man. Honors came to him thick and fast during 
the last twenty years of his life but he remained the same big-hearted genial 
companion and friend. He was a good mixer. Friday evenings usually found 
him at the Old Salmagundi Club where the artists gathered for dinner and for a 
happy evening afterwards. Success never turned Mr. Murphy’s head nor caused 
him to change in the slightest his simple mode of living. He loved his home and 
enjoyed having his friends with him. He had excellent business ability. His 
sound judgment, fine integrity, and that rarest of all qualities, good common sense, 
would have made him a success in any business or profession which he might have 
chosen. He was born with a love for art. When a child playing on the floor he 
used to draw pictures on the wainscoting. His mother would never allow anyone 
to erase them. Nothing could ever divert him from the purpose he had in mind 
to become an artist. Mr. Murphy was self-taught and he taught himself well. 
His paintings are his monument. 

Those beautiful poetic landscapes which he created and which bear his name 
will adorn the homes of American art lovers for generations to come.

FIRST SESSION 


marday November 26, 1926 at 2:15 p.m. 
Catalogue Numbers I to 167 Inclusive 


OMPRISING one hundred and sixty-seven drawings by the late 
C J. Francis Murphy, the majority in pencil, a few in pen and ink 
or heightened with water-color. ‘The sketches cover the period be- 
tween the years 1871 and 1886 and are made mainly in the fertile grasslands 
of New York and New Jersey in the summer months. In New York State 
the villages of Palenville, Bellona, Lakeville and Geneseo recur constantly; 
in Jersey the artist wandered on either bank of the Raritan River and sketched 
also the outskirts of the growing towns of Springfield and Elizabeth. Among 
old French villages are Montigny, La Genevraye, Sorgue. 

In addition to rapid notes of the play of light and shade on buildings, 
fences, trees and meadows, Murphy spent exquisite labor and thought on his 
smallest drawings of trees and flowers, each painstakingly labeled with the 
conscientiousness of a botanist and stored away in his portfolio for future use; 
but the arresting quality of the whole is the rapidity with which the mind of 
the man seized the essential and disregarded the superfluous in the picture before 


him, while he would return again and again to satisfy himself on a difficult 


point of draughtsmanship. 


The measurements on the following one hundred and sixty-seven drawings 
have not been given individually, as they are all small examples.

PaRAY DAY 
‘The delightful atmospheré/of a gray day without showers prevails over a 
sylvan landscape interrupted by open spaces and threaded by a broad brook. 
‘The sky is gray and the bank bordering the brook is a lighter gray, while 
the water itself is a silvery gray mirror, as the brook winds from the fore- 
ground and vanishes in the middle distance. Meadow lands back from the 
waterside are covered with green grass and short brownish growths, a leaning 
tree holding a few lingering leaves crosses the picture, and in the middle- 
ground are trees whose foliage has turned a reddish-brown. Signed at the

numerous upstanding chimneys is depicted at the end of day when the light 

is fading. ‘The houses are clustered closely together, a few trees rise above 

the rooflines and shorter trees stand across the front of the group, in thick

LATE AFTERNOON 


At left a slender tree crowned with a circular mass of russet foliage grows 
in a level plain covered with short wild grass. A cool grayish green still 
prevails in the grass, which is yielding, however, to the advances of the 
autumn season, as russet patches here and there show. Before and to right 
of the russet tree stands a smaller tree of an unusual growth, its slender 
branches separating widely soon after they diverge from the low gray trunk 
only a few inches from the ground. At their tips are considerable sprays 
of feathery foliage. It is a time of half-lght, and the reflection from the 
grayish sky of late afternoon causes sections of the trees to be mirrored in 
a broad andsshallow pond a part of which occupies the lower foreground

yellow leafage, and the group rises from the shaded green of a patch of 
-herbage whose low tone is almost the only contrast in wild fields of soft
